About This Item
New York London Toronto Sydney Singapore: Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2012. First Edition. Pictorial boards. Very Fine/Very Fine. Derek Anderson. SIGNED Presentation Copy by the Illustrator with a DRAGON SKETCH, 4to, pictorial glossy full color boards repeating the dj's picture, profusely illustrated with reproductions of paintings by Derek Anderson, Mylar-protected pictorial dust jacket by Anderson, decorative endpapers, [30] pages. EXCEPTIONAL CONDITION and RARE with the DRAGON SKETCH SIGNED by the gifted ILLUSTRATOR. Wonderfully bold, colorful, and sweet illustrations combine with a delightful narrative about how slumbering dragons wake up slowly, tumble out of bed, brush their teeth to avoid "Dragon breath," eat pancakes with syrup with delight, and then engage in further aerial adventures--all very suggestively for the little boy in armor who might want to pattern his behavior after his companion :-). (This adventure reminds me a lot of Disney's Pete's Dragon from 1977, which is now an animated movie.).
